Re: Who else uses scouting sheets?
Our team uses paper-based scouting forms (one for pre-match pit scouting and one for in-match team scouting). This year, we have been using a scanning packaging (ReMark OMR software) to optically-recognize the filled-in circles (e.g sacel of 1-5 for driving ability) which dumps all the match scouting forms into an Excel database.
We pride ourself on the use of this type of technology to augment our FIRST experience. It's been a great learning lesson for students and mentors.
Whatever system you use, just be sure that you're asking questions that are really IMPORTANT. many teams ask a whole bunch of silly questions that really have no bearing on alliance partnerhship selection process.
ps: we used this same software during build season to do timecards for every student, mentor and adult to track when and on what "department" we were spending all our time...
